I think you may have hit the nail on the head. If you look at the video of her on the plane after this Saturday night bombing, she did not really
want to be there or in this race any longer.

No doubt about it. If you google "Syrian Civil War Livemap" you'll find a website which offers live updates about what's happening in the Syrian war.
After following that site for a while, it's become obvious to me that the US rarely does much of anything to stop ISIS. There will be an occasional
US bombing or drone strike, but Russia bombs ISIS positions several times as often as the US does.

BTW, most of the fighting (an easy supermajority of it) occurs in 2 areas: around Aleppo (between pro-Assad forces & rebels) and more recently along
the northern border (between Turkey and ISIS). The US is really a pretty minor player in Syria, at least directly. (It's no secret that the US arms
& supports several rebel groups.) That so-called "accidental" bombing of the Syrian gov't position is probably going to have serious repercussions,
in the form of an equally "accidental" Russian bombing against US backed forces.

My prediction: expect a major ramp-up of Russian bombing, likely leading to Assad recapuring Aleppo.

I feel like if someone asked her the color of the sky Hillary would focus group the answer and say something in a monotone yell along the lines:

"I know people across America have been hit hard by questions about the skys color and it might be blue but America doesn't need that kind of
rhetoric...
I represent real change and the sky's color is something my opponent doesn't want to talk about...what's that you say?
He said its blue?
Oh, um, *cough *cough, uhh, *cough *cough, short circuit, the nineties, *cough *cough, Bill, sexism, Obama *cough *cough *cough, dangerous rhetoric,
alt right, *cough *cough, collapse"

maybe the u.s. is afraid to bomb too often because we hit innocent people and soldiers of the Syrian Army.
the United States military needs a tune-up, and it's obvious that Obama or Hillary will not deliver.

ETA: It's interesting that Turkey has finally started to crack down on ISIS. Previously, Turkey was being accused of providing open conduits for ISIS
to move fighters & material into & out of their "caliphate." I have to wonder if that recent coup attempt was the catalyst. It seems from reports
that post-coup purges have removed large numbers of pro-Western Turks from power. On the surface, this might seem like bad news to the West, but if
it's true that the West is using ISIS as a tool, then suddenly this sudden move by Turkey to curb ISIS makes a lot more sense.
